If you are White and you seek a government office or a political office, expect that your critics/opponents will use your parents and use their parents against you. What is your home town? What is/was your parents’ home town and your grandparents’ hometown? Crete was my hometown. I lived there 1948-1972. Crete was my father’s hometown and his parents’ hometown. Grant Park was my mother’s hometown and her parent’s hometown. I should write a book about how my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have used my parents, their parents, Crete, and Grant Park against me. They stress that both Crete and Grant Park were overwhelmingly German American and Missouri Synod Lutheran. They hint/imply/argue/shout that Crete and Grant Park were full of White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things.)
